【 摘 要 】

This paper could be considered a “case study” of its author’s doctoral thesis project, which deals with art and tourism in Franco’s Spain. The specific case of the Costa Brava is taken into consideration here. It is analysed what role has the historiography of tourism traditionally assigned to the Costa Brava, and an alternative version to it is proposed based on a visual revision of the tourism boom. The images produced by the touristic industry and those coming from the field of art –such as Francesc Català-Roca’s and Xavier Miserachs’ photographic projects about the Costa Brava– are analysed in parallel. Can we talk of a touristic iconography of the Costa Brava? How much of masquerade and how much of portrait is there within it?
